Hi,
The following vulnerability was published for glibc.
CVE-2016-10739[0]:
| In the GNU C Library (aka glibc or libc6) through 2.28, the getaddrinfo
| function would successfully parse a string that contained an IPv4
| address followed by whitespace and arbitrary characters, which could
| lead applications to incorrectly assume that it had parsed a valid
| string, without the possibility of embedded HTTP headers or other
| potentially dangerous substrings.
If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
